Built by Derecktor Shipyard for a Commodore of the New York Yacht Club, Inverness was launched in 1963. She is constructed of wood.

In her very first year the keel was modified, and the bottom of the keel brough to a "V", versus a simple radius and the lead that was removed was added to the forward end of the keel (trim problem?). She is reportedly (still) a very quick boat and has a reasonably good racing record, for example winning her class in the Bermuda Race of 1966.

Special Note About the Indexes (Above):All boats are listed by LOA, Design Number and Boat Name and are an active hyperlink to the primary article about that particular boat that usually includes the principal plans and dimensions when available. That does not mean that is the only article about the boat within these pages. For popular designs there may be numerous postings. For Dorade for example there are 8 different postings about her thus far. If you are interested in a particular design please use the SEARCH feature to do further research. The indexes only include boats that have been posted on this blog and do not represent our entire collection. More boats are added on a continual basis. Other subjects are posted as well and do not appear in the indexes.
